Found a great place to do 175 and 200 yard shooting. I set my target out there and marked the 175yrd spot and set up my stuff and shot off of my shooting sticks. 2 shots was more than enough to know that the big 405 Powerbelt is dropping pretty good at that distance and the 80 grain charge i use.
They grouped excellent. Right at 2 1/2" @ 175 and using shooting sticks!

I plan on trying 2 more shots at 175 with winchester 777 primers tomorrow. Today i was using remington kleanbores.

Drop, #1 shot was exactly at 13" low @ 175yrd.

POA was the 6 o'clock spot on the small circle. (big circle is for 100 yard Mountain rifle shooting)






So now my question. 3 clicks up to move it up 4" or leave it where its at? An elk has a huge side so 13" may seem like a lot but when the elk is in your scope, 13" to be is doable.

4" high @ 100 puts me 4" high at 50 and 75 yards. Its weird how that works out but its right on the money at the shorter ranges.
